Sikhs Who Believe In Caste Or Jaat Paat Are Brahmins In Sikh Masks

As learners of the Teaching or the Divine Wisdom of Sri Guroo Granth Sahib (SGGS), all Sikhs — young or old — whether living in India or in other countries must know that SGGS is strictly against the caste system (Jaat Paat). The Sikh Guroos have been strong supporter of equality, and rejected casteism (Jaat Paat).

In fact, the timeless and universal Teaching of the SGGS (i.e., Gurmat) dispels our ignorance, doubt (Bharam), Haumai, etc., that lead to evil conduct such as madness of belief in casteism (Jaat Paat). The Divine Wisdom of the SGGS instructs all to consider all humans equal, regardless of their class, color, race, gender or religion. Gurmat (Teaching or Wisdom of the Gurbani) respectfully disagrees with the Brahminical practice of casteism, which divides the mankind. To the contrary, the Sikh tenets abolish such divisions!

ਜੋ ਦੀਸੈ ਸੋ ਤੇਰਾ ਰੂਪੁ ॥: Whatever is seen is Your form (sggs724).

ਏਕ ਨੂਰ ਤੇ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਉਪਜਿਆ ਕਉਨ ਭਲੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਦੇ ॥੧॥: From this One Light, the entire universe has welled up. So who is good, and who is bad? ||1|| (sggs 1349).

ਜਾਣਹੁ ਜੋਤਿ ਨ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਜਾਤੀ ਆਗੈ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਹੇ ॥: Recognize the Light (Jot within all), and don’t ask or consider Jaatee, as there is no Jaati in the world hereafter (sggs 349).

Therefore, Sikhs who practice or believe in the madness of caste system (Jaat Paat) are fraud or phony Sikhs in disguise. The reason they are fraud Sikhs because they are anti-Gurmat forces (anti-teaching of the Gurbani) who want to propagate Brahminical thinking (ਸੋਚ), distort Sikh tenets, corrupt Baabaa Nanak’s teaching which disagree with the Brahminical practice of caste system. In other words, they simply want to superimpose the crafty Brahminical practices onto the Divine Teaching of the SGGS.

ਗਰਭ ਵਾਸ ਮਹਿ ਕੁਲੁ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਤੀ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਬਿੰਦੁ ਤੇ ਸਭ ਉਤਪਾਤੀ ॥੧॥ ਕਹੁ ਰੇ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਬਾਮਨ ਕਬ ਕੇ ਹੋਏ ॥ ਬਾਮਨ ਕਹਿ ਕਹਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਮਤ ਖੋਏ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਜੌ ਤੂੰ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਣੀ ਜਾਇਆ ॥ ਤਉ ਆਨ ਬਾਟ ਕਾਹੇ ਨਹੀ ਆਇਆ ॥੨॥ ਤੁਮ ਕਤ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਹਮ ਕਤ ਸੂਦ ॥ ਹਮ ਕਤ ਲੋਹੂ ਤੁਮ ਕਤ ਦੂਧ ॥੩॥ ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੋ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੈ ॥ ਸੋ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਕਹੀਅਤੁ ਹੈ ਹਮਾਰੈ ॥੪॥੭॥: In the womb, no lineage and caste is known. (One) Brahm is the Source of all ||1|| (Kabeer Sahib questions) since when have you been a Brahmin? Don’t waste your life by continually claiming to be a Brahmin. ||1||Pause|| If you are indeed a Brahmin, born of a Brahmin mother, then why didn’t you come by some other way? ||2|| How is it that you are a Brahmin, and I am of a low caste? Is it that I have blood (in my veins), and you have milk (in your veins)? ||3|| Says Kabeer, one who contemplates the Brahm, is said to be a Brahmin among us. ||4||7|| (sggs 324).

In other words, those so called Sikhs who practice or believe in the madness of casteism (Jaat Paat) are in fact either followers or children of the crafty Brahmins bent on poisoning the pure teaching of the SGGS (“ਪੰਡਿਤ ਪਾੜੀ ਬਾਟ”). It would be complete travesty of truth to deny or shy away from the fact that there has already been distortion of the Teaching (Upadesh) of the SGGS.

The Gurbani indicates that the caste (Jaat Paat) relates only to the body; not to one’s soul!

In other words, The SGGS tells us that the caste-conscious person is simply a Manmukh (Saakat, Mayadhaaree, Asant…) who has confounded his True Identity (Jot -Saroop) with the non-Jot or the physical body-frame. Consequently, he identifies himself and others as this Sikh or that Sikh (the list goes on and on).

ਸਾਕਤ ਨੀਚ ਤਿਸੁ ਕੁਲੁ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਤੀ ॥੭॥: Saakat (the one separated from his Mool) is wretched (low, out-caste…), (as a result, his status of) lineage and caste do not remain. ||7|| (sggs 239).

ਮਾਇਆਧਾਰੀ ਅਤਿ ਅੰਨਾ ਬੋਲਾ ॥ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਸੁਣਈ ਬਹੁ ਰੋਲ ਘਚੋਲਾ ॥: One who is attached to Maya is (spiritually) very much blind, and deaf (to the Gur-Shabad…). (In such conditioned state), he is unable to listen (i.e., don’t pay attention…) to the Shabad; (but, in love or hunger of Maya) he makes much uproar and tumult (ਰੌਲਾ-ਗੌਲਾ, noise, chatter, etc.). (sggs 313).

The negative side of having some power (e.g., pride or superiority complex of higher caste) for a while is that it gets to one’s head. Anything you practice for a long time becomes a core part of your identity. This is the problem with the Brahmins. Also, this is the problem with Sikhs who believe in the madness of casteism (Jaat Paat) as the Bramins do.

Consequents of such madness perpetuates social inequality, divisions, separateness, “Baad Bibaad” (strife, conflicts, ਝਗੜੇ, ਵੈਰ-ਵਿਰੋਧ), and so on. It’s a curse. For example, the casteism is practiced so blindly in some rural parts of Punjab that people have established caste-specific Gurudwaras, cremation grounds, wells, places of congregation, and so on.

Then why so many Sikhs practice this madness? The Gurbani provides us with an answer — it’s because of one’s doubt (Bharam), Haumai (false ego-sense), Bikaar (lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and their countless variations)…

Furthermore, the Sikh Pujaaree-Group (clergy class) is succeeding in their alliances with management to convert Gurdwara programs into Brahamanic practices just like they were prevalent before Baabaa Nanak. The Gurdwara programs are restricted to only singing and recitations without Shabad-Vichaar. If there is any Shabad-vichaar, it is only by the illiterate or crafty Pujaaree-Group (clergy class) and not by those with true apprehension of the Gurbani (Gurmukhs, Dass, Jan, Bhagat). All of this is similar to what was prevalent before Baabaa Nanak (Golak!). Sikh Guroos introduced a major shift in the religious practices by promoting Vichaar to replace all rituals. But, alas, we are reverting back to pre-Guroo’s times!

According to the Gurbani, the cure is in removing doubt, Haumai, or Bikaar (lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride…) — become the Gurmukh (follower of the Truth or Brahm-Giaan of the Gurbani…).

In fact, according to the Gurbani (NOT according to the fool-o-sophy), it’s the absence of Naam (Shabad, Hukam, Divine Wisdom or Brahm-Giaan of the SGGS) which constitutes one being of low caste (ਨੀਚ, “ਨੀਚ ਜਾਤਿ”, “ਸਨਾਤ”).

However, the young Sikh generation all around the world should educate themselves of the true meanings of the Gurbani and become self-aware of challenges. On the basis of the Universal Teaching of the SGGS, youngsters should come forth and challenge and break this mad practice of casteism (Jaat Paat) in Sikhi. They must come forth and confront those who are trying to propagate this evil practices in the Gurdwaras, homes, communities…

Listen to the ultimate edict of Baabaa Nanak:
ਜਾਤਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਨਹ ਪੂਛੀਐ ਸਚ ਘਰੁ ਲੇਹੁ ਬਤਾਇ ॥ ਸਾ ਜਾਤਿ ਸਾ ਪਤਿ ਹੈ ਜੇਹੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥: O Nanak! Do not ask about (someone’s) “Jaati” or birth (family). (If you must ask, then ask) how to realize Truth in the Heart. (Jaat Paat of a person) is as he acts (sggs 1330).

In fact Sikhs are true BRAHMINS. This is very clear from the definition of BRAHMAN from within gurbanee.Accordingly BRAHMAN is one who contemplates solely of BRAHM and gurbanee clearly gives this direction to all Sikhs.
BRAHM is a very Fundamental and Pivotal concept of Gurbanee.

Yes, there is no caste or religion in fact in the eyes of Guru or a Real Saints. There are many saints in other religions also who fought caste system but the unreal Brahmins oppressed them. For Saints/BrahamGianis Manas ki Jaat sab ek pehchhano…………………Bhul Chuk Maaf Ji………..
